Saint Fan CaM Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 7 minutes ago, skintsaint said: This will be the one we lose, we will then win the rest and miss out on auto promotion by GD. Classic Saints. Unfortunately that’s almost correct. Think we’ll either draw or win this one, but the Leicester game will be the one we choke on. Horrible nasty cynical side that has that twat Tardy playing for them. The thing I’m concerned about playing our direct promo rivals is that they're able to deliberately nobble our players to screw our chances of putting a consistent team/run together. Need to be hard and ruthless in return without giving away silly cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erol Bulut reveals devastating Cardiff City injury list with 12 players out for Southampton - Wales Online We've fallen for that one before, 12 sounds like a lot out, but how many of them are regular starters? I remember playing Palace away when they had no recognised defenders fit and we managed to lose 1-0 , but all helps. On paper a team with nothing to play for with players missing gives Martin a perfect opportunity to enjoy a visit back to South Wales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their best player (Ng) out for the season, 12 or more injured or ill, maybe up to 5 from the u21s to fill the squad according to their manager. I think it is safe to say they will no be putting out a full strength team, but probably not as bad as they are making out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolm waldron Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 1 hour ago, Turkish said: Also can Brooks play in this one? Think that only applies in the FA Cup - not league games, but not 100% sure. Someone will know. But his cup game was against Swansea though - and I think they're Welsh (as are Cardiff too if I'm correct - although who knows 'these days') and so I wouldn't be at all surprised if that counts him out for tomorrow. It's too much of a risk - the last thing we need is to bring him on for the last five mins of an away win, get promoted and then find out in mid August - after a long protracted legal case - that he was ineligible and we get docked the 3 points and are suddenly de-promoted.

saintstowin Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) I think as this is on Welsh soil there's no being cup tied or ineligibility issue, but Brooks MUST only speak Welsh from the moment his passport is stamped half way across the Severn Bridge until the final whistle.

Yep, I think we need to start him even if he's not 100%. It's a risk if we play him but it's possibly a greater risk if we don't (IMHO of course). As Russell said himself today: we need to go full tilt on each game as it comes and not worry about any of the following future games until they come around (or words to that effect) Edited April 19 by trousers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
